Juan Cui
Biomedical Engineering
Build a hybrid mechanistic and artificial-intelligence digital twin of skeletal muscle that predicts adaptation across different activity levels and metabolic states, organized around five interacting modules spanning mechanical loading, protein turnover, inflammation, regeneration and metabolism.
Christian Binek
Physics
Engineer interfaces in oxide and van der Waals layered stacks to control magnetic and electric order, defects and spin textures, aiming at memristive devices and neuromorphic, brain-inspired computing.
Lance Perez
Education Research
Identify the rural assets and structural barriers that shape engineering awareness before college, through site visits and semi-structured interviews with principals, counselors and STEM teachers at rural Nebraska high schools.
Ivan Vechetti
Physiology
Determine whether MG53, a mitochondria-protecting protein that rises in hibernating ground squirrel muscle, is necessary to lessen skeletal muscle loss during disuse-induced atrophy.
Mark Walker
Mathematics & Statistics
Study non-commutative analogues, phrased for dg categories, of classical conjectures about smooth varieties, including the Hodge conjecture and Grothendieck's Standard Conjectures.
